Who hovers their irons?

Recommended Posts

Thank you fellow WRX'ers for the swing tip. Had my best ball striking round of the year today by hovering every club except the putter -- would have to put more time into incorporating it into the putting stroke -- But man, irons wedges, driver, fairway woods off the deck or in the rough, you name it...absolute puree. Only had one push fade drive and a thin 8-iron the entire round. FWIW I was hovering and playing the ball more aligned at the heel. I'm sold!

First saw this recently on the PGA from Kuchar. I'm not trying to mimic how high he is but I've tried just off the ground with good consistent results.

I have been struggling with slices off the driver and  weak to the right shots with irons.  Today I played in mens group that was best 2 of 4. Figured I didn't have anything to lose so at the range I tried the hovering over the ball. 

WOW,  what a game changer.  Smashed my driver,  hit fairways and irons flew straight.  I have tried everything but this little tip of hovering as been HUGE..

Highly recommend trying it...


Did you stick with it? How has it worked out for you over a longer period of time?

Why not the putter and driver?

Hi Leek. This started when I took the game up as a child(8yo) and would catch my irons and FWs in the grass on my take away. I did not have this problem on either the tee or green, so I never felt the need to hover my putter or driver. As I got older, I felt that I had a better feel of the club head by hovering, though never doing it with my driver or putter, I didn't want to "fix" something that wasn't broke, lol 🙂 Madison

I was 4 spotting for the Boone Valley Classic (Sr Tour) in 96 at Missouri Bluffs GC. Decided to hover during my warm up and took it to the course. 5 under 67 for low qualifier. 1st practice round at tournament course, 6 under 66. 1st tournament round of 67 but then faded with 73 and 74 to tie for 32nd. Never stuck with it though. Not sure why I didn't.
